Jaina S皦ras, Part 1 of 2: The ﾂk穩穗ga S皦ra and The Kalpa S皦ra (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781646798001)

The Sacred Books of the East, a 50-volume series, encompasses the seven non-Christian religions of Asia: Hinduism, Buddhism, Taoism, Confucianism, Zoroastrianism, Jainism, and Islam. Translated into English by authorities in their respective fields, these sacred texts have been edited by F. Max Muller and have profoundly influenced civilization. Jaina Sutras, Part 1 (1884), translated by Hermann Jacobi, is volume XXII of The Sacred Books of the East, a series available from Cosimo Classics. This book, in two parts, focuses on Jainism. Passed on through oral tradition, this text contains the teachings of Jain leader Mahavira, specifically the Acharanga and Kalpa sutras, the foundation of Jainism. This is a fascinating addition to the personal library of those interested in Jainism and ancient religions.
